Description
Jacob
My father is dying, and I’ve been called back to Brooklyn to take my place as the head of the Italian syndicate. After a seven year absence, my first test of loyalty is to marry the granddaughter of the Irish mob’s leader. I may not want a wife, but I’ll kill anyone who tries to harm her.
I only hope she doesn’t expect love in our marriage. I can’t—won’t—love her. Not ever. I don’t have it in me.
Brenna
My life has always been about duty. When my grandfather signs a marriage contract, I become a pawn in an alliance between the Irish and the Italians. Once again I’m bound by duty.
I’ve always been invisible—the person who fades into the background—except soon my new husband begins to see me.
He’s a Brooklyn king, but will our enemies destroy my chance to become his queen?

5By CMBP1958I liked the tastefully well written first consummation! I did not like how obvious the traitor was and easy it was to send the heroine running! Nice twist on traitors devised betrayal!Good read
5By urmomcallsmedaddy.illcallusonThis book caught my attention quick. While it was a love story as old as time, it was very sweet and had some good twists. I do wish that the resolution would have taken a little longer, but overall a good read.Love me a good mafia romance
4By TurahShaverEverything I would want in a mafia romance. I love the portrayal of fiery redheads. It doesn’t apply to all but short tempers are definitely a dominant trait.The Devil I Don’t Know: An Arranged Marriage

5By Stosh16Really liked this storyPerfection on pages
5By #EchoandConnorFan🥰This book was so good. Usually suspense and mafia stories aren’t really my thing but I decided to give this one a chance and I’m so happy I did. From the beginning Jacob was so protective and caring about Brenna. Their story was fast paced and kept me entertained from the beginning till the end. The epilogue made it 10x better. It was so cute! Theses two were the perfect pair.Good romance
4By kiki the dadThis book was a very good romance. The relationship was sweet. Not a lot of hot action though, just romantic.Fun,quick read
3By AaliyahnorthCompelling.Strong characters.A man who will do anything to protect what’s his and you’ll love him for it.Amazing!!!!!
5By Laure2005I loved every bit of this story🎉🎉🎉The plot was very rushed in my opinion
3By mujerzuela4librosThe problems had potential, but they were very compact and too easily resolved. Generally, the book was short. But that may just be below my standard for books. All in all, the plot was rushed, the problems weren’t as extended as I hoped for them to be, and also, a lot of words were repeated. It made it sound robotic. There were also a lot of words that I had to look up. You don’t have to add fancy words for the book to be good. It needs to be well understood. That’s just what I think.Sizzling
5By fufa lovaI’ve never been one to flock towards mafia stories, but I’m glad I read this one. Jacob is the perfect hidden hero and makes the mafia seem so sexy. It has just the right touch of spice as well.Excellent
4By LovelyLee2116This book keeps you wanting more. The characters are brought to life and the connection between the main characters, have you rooting for them. It’s a must read.
